In this match, Karim Benzema shined with a double. His first goal came in the 24th minute. Receiving the ball in the penalty area, the former Real Madrid star dribbled past a defender before unleashing a shot that beat goalkeeper Mosquera.

After opening the scoring, Al Ittihad continued to attack but could not find a second goal before the end of the first half. In the second half, Benzema showed his class again with a good combination. He coordinated a one-touch with Aboud, then broke free and finished coolly, leaving Mosquera no chance to block.

Benzema left the field in the 57th minute due to fitness problems, but Al Ittihad still increased the gap. The third goal came from an own goal by Al Baqawi, who failed to clear the ball under pressure from Al Ittihad's strikers.

Al Ittihad's 3-0 win over Al Feiha puts Benzema and his teammates on the brink of winning the Saudi Arabian title this season. The team can officially celebrate today if Al Hilal lose to Al Orobah at home.

Benzema's double against Al Feiha also helped him (21 goals) narrow the gap with Cristiano Ronaldo to 2 goals in the race for the Saudi Pro League's top scorer. The French striker has 21 goals, the same as Al Shabab's Abderrazak Hamdallah.

If Benzema wins the SPL this year, he will be crowned champion in a tournament in Saudi Arabia for the first time since joining. Al Ittihad's squad also has many stars who have played in Europe such as N'Golo Kanté, Houssam Aouar and Fabinho.

Ronaldo's classy performance at the age of 40 In the early morning of April 5, Ronaldo had an impressive performance, helping Al Nassr defeat their arch-rival Al Hilal.
